Of course, what sets the game above the rest, especially for when it was first released is that the game is part shooter and part platformer and swaps between the two on the fly, depending on the need of the game at any given moment. The story is interesting in that it takes a bit to get going, given the way that you can tackle bounties in any order you want, and it does provide some interesting moments, but given that the only creature that looks like Stranger is a large statue, that is shown when the Steef are explained, removes the suspension about who he is.

Soon though, what appears to be legend is revealed to be true and that the Stranger is a Steef this of course changes the course of the game as Stranger has gone from the hunter to the hunted. It is here where you are given a mission to rescue a Clakkerz, the chicken like folks that live in the towns and when you save him, he gives a little more information on a race called the Steef, which are have said to been protectors of another race, but since been wiped out.

Stranger starts out in the small town of Gizzard Gulch, capturing the outlaws that live near the town and are causing them chaos, but when one of the brothers of those captured destroys the town in order to free someone, the Stranger moves onto Buzzarton. Stranger’s Wrath tells the story of the Stranger, a bounty hunter who dislikes guns, which is again a little odd, but the Stranger is suffering from a mysterious medical condition and requires an operation to live, thus the hunting for bounties.

Oddworld strangers wrath no kill series#
Let’s be honest, there is no series quite like Oddworld, the series has games in multiple genres, but apart from the Oddworld name in the titles, could easily be individual titles and no game captures this effect better than Stranger’s Wrath, and now 15 years after it released on the original Xbox it comes to Switch, but is it worth playing today?
